L.A. is so high that Snoop Dogg is, for all intents and purposes, our cultural ambassador.

So why did we only make No. 10 on Movoto's list? The site says the ranking was "a fairly serious, data-driven affair" that involved calculating "dispensaries per capita," "residents with medical marijuana cards," "head shops per capita," "marijuana-related events," the legal status of weed and the prosecution of cannabis users.

A Movoto spokesman told us:

Based on a number of factors (head shops, medical marijuana cards, dispensaries, etc), Los Angeles cracked the top 10. San Bernardino is fourth and the O.C. has a couple cities on there as well.

In fact, San Bernardino (No. 4) beat L.A., and so did Santa Ana (No. 6) and Irvine (No. 7). Irvine!?

Movoto said L.A.'s large population hurt us in the rankings. Despite our large number of dispensaries, we "simply couldn't hold up when looked at on a per-capita basis," Movoto stated, coming in ninth in that metric.

However, it appears the site sorely undercounted the number of shops in town, putting the figure at about 368 and not at the 1,000 or so widely believed to exist here.

Even after L.A. voters last year decided to limit the number of shops to 100 or so, collectives keep opening. In fact, the City Attorney's office just shut one of those new ones down.
